After Dong Zhuo and the others had breakfast, they ignored the hardships of the villagers in the small village and took Dong Huang, Zhang Xiu, and Ma Chao to Jinyang.

A group of old and weak women and children in the village knelt down for ten miles, crying into the sky, all wanting Dong Zhuo to stay for two more days.

Dong Zhuo still knows the thoughts of this group of old men and women, it is nothing more than his own presence, if there are any more officials and soldiers who come to harm them, he can come forward to stop them, although he knows that Dong Zhuo will leave sooner or later, but he can escape one day is a day, this is the truest thought in the hearts of these lonely old women people, they just want to survive.

But if this is the case, then Dong Zhuo can only rescue dozens of people in this small village at most, but Dong Zhuo knows very well that this Zhaojiazhuang is not an exception, villages like this, and even worse villages than Zhaojiazhuang abound in the entire land of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo cannot ignore tens of millions of people for the sake of these dozens of people.

Dong Zhuo understood that if he wanted to end this situation, the best and most direct way was to rush to Jinyang immediately and repeal all these decrees that plagued the people in his capacity as a state minister.

It's a pity that these truths can't be understood by these old and weak women and children, or that the officials have no trust among these people, and in the end Dong Zhuo has no choice but to keep Dong Huang.

Leaving Dong Huang temporarily in this small village, Dong Zhuo took Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao to continue to Jinyang.

Along the way, Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao stared at Dong Zhuo's back one by one, with a respectful look in their eyes, it is estimated that neither of them looked at their parents like this, as if they were looking at the gods in the sky.

The first time Dong Zhuo broke a big tree with a punch, they didn't see it, but later they saw Dong Zhuo kick the branches of a big tree with a diameter of more than two feet with one kick, and sawdust flew sideways.

That scene is so exciting!

This also strengthened Xiao Ma Chao's belief that following Dong Zhuo is right, he is also very eager to become invincible like Dong Zhuo one day.

Zhang Xiu's strong heart is not as strong as Ma Chao's, three years of military career, Zhang Xiu has become more calm, has long lost the original competitiveness, wants to compete with Huaxiong Gao Shun Lingyun ambition, some just wholeheartedly follow Dong Zhuo, to open up the world of the heart that Dong Zhuo said.

"There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, the cold people in the world are happy, the wind and rain do not move like a mountain, and it is enough for me to be alone and freeze to death!"

Dong Zhuo once said this sentence that Zhang Xiu will never forget, and takes it as his life motto, which is the source of motivation for his unremitting struggle, and for this, he must become stronger.

Zhang Xiu wanted all the people not to experience life and death at a young age like him, and not to let all the people suffer like the village in Wuwei that was slaughtered by the Huns, nor to be plagued by local officials and soldiers like Zhaojiazhuang.

And whether Ma Chao wants to become stronger for the dream of being the first in the world, or Zhang Xiu wants to become better in order to help the people in the world, they all recognize a way at the same time, that is, to follow Dong Zhuo.

Not to mention Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao, who have their own thoughts behind Dong Zhuo, even Dong Zhuo also has a thousand thoughts in his heart at this time.

What he encountered and heard in Zhaojiazhuang this time made Dong Zhuo understand that the situation in the state is many times worse than he imagined, and internal and external troubles coexist, this is not a good phenomenon, if it is not handled well, the entire state will be turned into a doom, and he, Dong Zhuo, will also fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

However, the problem is that Dong Zhuo has no problem crusading against the rebellious Xiongnu and resisting the invasion of the Xianbei people, but let Dong Zhuo manage the internal affairs and people's livelihood, he really can't do it, governing internal affairs is not as good as governing the army, a lot of civil disputes, taxes, inspection of talents, governance of people's livelihood and even flood control and a lot of things, it is not so easy to say that governance can be governed.

If only Jia Xu were here. Dong Zhuo sighed a little, Jia Xu was infected with typhoid fever a month ago, bedridden, and couldn't travel with him for a long time.

The three fast horses galloped all the way, and in just three hours, they rushed to the outside of Jinyang City.

Seeing the tightly closed gate of Jinyang City from a distance, as well as the hundreds of refugees begging outside the city, Dong Zhuo's face instantly became gloomy.

Now it is wartime, the whole state is under martial law, Dong Zhuo and they all found that the city and town are closed all the way, prohibiting the people from entering and leaving the city gate, as if the Huns will appear under the city in an instant the next moment, and rush into the city like a tide while the city gate is open.

If it were other cities, seeing this appearance, Dong Zhuo might not say anything, but what kind of place is this? This is Jinyang City, it is the county governance of Taiyuan County, it is the state governance of the state, which is equivalent to the capital city of a province in later generations, such as Nanjing in Jiangsu Province, Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, such an important place, and there are a large number of troops, and it is also like this, refusing to flee the people to enter, what is the difference between this and the grass Kan human life.

The hundreds of refugees who were originally clustered at the gate of the city saw Dong Zhuo and the three of them in full armor galloping on horseback, and they immediately scattered.

For these soldiers and uncles, the refugees were really afraid, and they didn't see how fierce these soldiers were, but let the Huns fight like grandsons, and the cities were lost one after another, and the land fell one county after another. But when it comes to ordinary people, these villains who serve as soldiers instantly turn into fierce and cruel wolves, ravaging them wantonly and leaving them inhumane.

Looking at the hundreds of ragged and thin-skinned refugees gathered in front of the city gate, Dong Zhuo saw the fear on the faces of the refugees towards himself and others.

couldn't help but feel angry in the hearts of Dong Zhuo and the others.

Ma Chao has always been short-tempered, and without waiting for Dong Zhuo's orders, he flew out directly on horseback, came to the city gate, and shouted loudly.

"Listen to the people in the city, the general of the Han Dynasty and the state pastor Dong Gong are coming, why don't you open the city gate quickly to welcome my lord into the city!"

When the defenders on the city wall heard this, they were shocked, and they didn't know what kind of official the governor was, but who could not know the name of the general of Zhengxi?

"It's Dong Tingshi!"

Someone on the city wall recognized Dong Zhuo and exclaimed.

"Who is Dong Tingshi?" Many of the other soldiers were new recruits and didn't know Dong Zhuo, but some veterans looked at Dong Zhuo under the city, looking at the unusually familiar tall body, and suddenly exclaimed.

"It's really Dong Thorn History!"

"Dong Thorn History? Is he really coming? ”

"That's right, it's Dong Tingshi, it's him back!"
